No offense meant, why such a complicated way of counting? Looks a bit f*cked up to me...
I insist on no offense meant

Lol, not offended. I just wanted to make something more special since it's a conlang. It is complicated I know... but anyway...I have no intentions on teaching it so I try to use my imagination.

To me, learning numbers is one of the most difficult thing in a language. I always think "ah yeah, whatever, it's only a few figures, i'll do that later" and i never do it in the end
But that's is above my imagination.. I mean, do you remember the words yourself?

I have a pretty good memory concerning words Yes. And it si really hard, for example, when I saw French numbers, they were astonishing! quatre-vingt... that's beyond my limits. But I got used to them.

I am sorry but this is very few natural.

You can use vicesimal system but the ordinary way in counting is usind addition and multiplication.

I see you made 11-19 as primary roots but you forgot a root for 20 : is your system 19-based ?

You have to make 22 as "20-2" and 40 as "2-20" like in many languages, isn't it ?
